International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC)
Currently, where global attention is increasingly focused on sustainability, organizations across the world are under growing pressure to adapt and align their operations with international standards concerning environmental and social responsibility. This is especially critical in supply chains related to bioenergy, renewable raw materials, and high-risk natural resources. The International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) plays a key role in demonstrating that an organization is genuinely committed to sustainable practices.
ISCC not only enhances an organization’s credibility but also serves as a gateway to global markets, allowing companies to showcase their commitment to environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic sustainability.
What is ISCC?
ISCC is a globally applicable sustainability certification system that covers all types of sustainable raw materials, including agricultural and forestry biomass, biogenic waste and residues, circular and renewable materials, and bio-based chemicals. Its evaluation criteria include key sustainability aspects such as greenhouse gas emission reduction, sustainable land use, protection of natural biospheres, and social sustainability. ISCC is a member of the UN Global Compact and supports major international initiatives that promote sustainable supply chains.
Who Needs ISCC Certification?
Although ISCC certification is voluntary, in practice, many organizations are required to be certified due to demands from customers, suppliers, or regulatory requirements for exports. Industries that commonly require ISCC certification include:
- Bio-based chemical manufacturing plants
- Recyclers and suppliers of recycled materials
- Collectors of biogenic waste and residues
- Traders and transporters of raw materials
Obtaining ISCC certification enhances market competitiveness, builds international credibility, and opens new business opportunities in markets that prioritize sustainability.
